What is Graded Exercise Testing? Name an example?
going to have different levels of work during the test example starting at slow with no incline, then gradually increasing the speed and incline.
What is fitness and functional capacity testing?
Assess the fitness and performance capabilities to do work or job related activity, physical activity, exercise, perform in a sport or athletic competition
What is diagnostic testing?
Identifies the presence of a disease condition, risk factors for a disease condition, or an existing injury. Make good markers of health and if their systems in the body are working
Why do we do assessments in exercise science?
• To figure out their health status • Find out risk factors for certain diseases and illnesses • responses to training and rehab programs • to see the potential for success in sport and athletic competition in athletes
What makes the treadmill special that we talked about in class?
• It doesn’t give feedback to the individual • has those force plates that help you get awesome measurements • measures the intensity and amount of exercise performed • measures VO2 MAX
Explain assessments and evaluations should be valid and reliable in pretesting guidelines and procedures
Well you basically need to use valid and reliable testing to get valid and reliable data. TESTING NEEDS TO BE STANDARDIZED
explain standardized and clear instructions in pretesting guidelines and procedures
Testing needs to be standardized so your data can be relaiable
Explain provide sufficient practice or warm-up in pretesting guidelines and procedures
Make sure you have the person get a good warm up in
Explain select appropriate order of the assessment and evaluation items
Need to choose the right order of assessments to do. Example DO NOT put an exhaustion test first over like a stretching one
Explain give sufficient recovery time between tests
Just give the person enough time to recover and catch their breath between tests
Explain control the environmental conditions as much as possible
Just control the environment so the environment won’t effect the results of your testing
What is field test vs lab tests?
Field:Testing an individual either in their sport (outside) Lab: Testing an induvial on the treadmill or in the lab
What kind of people perform better using a field test compared to people doing a lab test?
Field test: A super specialized athlete like michael phelps, or a mountain runner Lab test: regular old joe, not specialized individual in a sport, track runner
What is individual issues to control in regards to pretesting guidelines and procedures?
They are factors that could affect the subjects, patients, or clients so that the accurate results are obtained
Define ergometers
It is a machine that measures movement
What does metabolic measurement equipment measure? (3)
• Volume of air inhaled or exhaled • How much oxygen is consumed • How much CO2 is produced
What do cardiovascular and pulmonary function equipment measure? (2)
• How well someone inhales and exhales from the lungs • How efficiently the lungs transfer oxygen into the blood and remove CO2 from the blood
What does the pulse oximeter measure?
Measure oxygen concentration in the blood
What does the electrocardiograph equipment measure?
Records the electrical impulses generated by the heart
What does the blood pressure equipment measure?
Measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure
What does electromyography measure?
Measures and records the electrical activity of the skeletal muscles
What does the force platforms do and measure?
Sends voltage signals proportional (the same) to the force exerted on the platform’s surface in ALL DIRECTIONS (horizontal, vertical, lateral). It measures the force exerted in any direction.
What does pressure-sensitive insoles measure?
Provides continuous measurement of pressure and force during walking or running
What does isokinetic dynamometer measure?
Measure force during isometric and isokinetic movements of muscles
